Riverdale High School from the Archie comic book series and more recently, Riverdale on the CW is one of the main locations used in both. This Riverdale design features an athletic department motif along with the school mascot - the Riverdale Bulldog - as well as an established 1941 date, the first year Archie and friends appeared in Pep Comics #22. The design features a vintage effect giving it plenty of street cred - almost like it's been sitting in the bottom of a gym locker for a few decades :)

Since when did large chunks of populations used to eating bread, pasta and other wheat products suddenly suffer from gluten sensitivity?
Is it more accurate to call the movement the gluten-free fad or the gluten-free craze?
The whole hype surrounding gluten has arisen from the fact the wheat in the USA has been greatly hybridized to increase gluten content. According to some reports, Americans in around the 1950s used to be eating wheat with about a 3% gluten content, and are now eating wheat with about a 50% gluten content. That massive jump has (justifiably) caused concern for many. However, what has mostly come out this has been a large-scale demonization of gluten and demonization of wheat.

Strigoi are also known as immortal vampires.

We are all living in the world in which you have to cover your telescreen camera with a piece of duck tape.

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!

6 % of Americans are saying that they still trust the media. It seams that majority of people are distrustful against media, so how come people are still manipulated? 12 million Americans believe Lizard people run their country, that is how.
